After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Victorian Teen Who Murdered Her Baby Brother

In 1860 Britain was rocked by the brutal murder of 3-year-old Francis Kent inside his family home. Scotland Yard sent their finest but when a teenage sister, Constance Kent, was accused there was outcry. How could a well-mannered young lady be guilty of murder? It was a crime against class and gender to suggest such a thing. The detective was sent packing, but was he right all along? Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling the story this week. Edited by Tomos Delargy, produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long. Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
